WHAT IS CUE? (definition on progress)
CUE is a playground (space/situation) for spontaneous expression. A collective game created by participation.
CUE was born out of a specific need: the need for places where it is possible to experiment new ways of expression and behavior within a performative context. There the potential actions have not necessarily to be artistic practices, because any possible mean of expression is warmly welcomed.
The aim of CUE is neither providing some sort of result, nor to create some specific product, but to generate the conditions where the participants can live and enjoy their time in a collective game of simultaneous actions, where what is sought is nothing else than a new, spontaneous and permanently unstable kind of communication. Keeping in mind that there are no previously defined rules of the game, interaction has to be the key of the communication process, and participants have to allow themselves creating new relationships between each other.
In CUE the artistic thing does not have priority and has no sense to judge the value orartistic quality of the actions of the different participants, but to provide one playful, recomforting experience.
CUE does not also try to create a few conditions where rules of game do not exist but rather to suspend the rules in order that every participant become a person in charge of determining the conditions of the game, taking decisions thatdeal with the generated situations and with other participants and respecting the equipment and the possible limitations that the space imposes.
Principles as autonomy and tolerance can be helpfull in finding answers to the following questions: How can people stay together in a context where there are neither rules nor a director, and the individuals are guided solely by their self-enjoyment principle? How can the participants’ actions not exclude one another? What happens if two different individual enjoyments interfere or collide between each other? How are interferences to be understood? What happens if one or more participants end up disagreeing with the decisions/actions taken by other participants for some reason?
In such a way, participants of all kinds of disciplines (dance, music, theatre, videoart, scenography, cookery, etc...) face each other within a multiple and simultaneous creation process. It is a space where all the different disciplines are put into dialogue while being produced in a spontaneous way. This specific simultaneous participation forces every participant to interact with the space and with the other creators, making all the outcomes to melt into the unpredictable situation that is CUE. CUE is everything that happens in the space within the whole duration of the event.
Thus CUE, constantly looking for its own meaning, happens to be a problem itself , a challenge, a laboratory for a new social organization, based on the values of autonomy and tolerance: acceptance of others as well as ability of setting them aside.
CUE happened for the first time in March 2007 in the Weissener Freitag Gallery of Berlin. Since May 2008 CUE has been taking place simultaneously both in Berlin and Madrid, making use of video-conference devices in order to show what is happening in both locations. The project aims to gradually connect as many cities as possible.
Was ist CUE?
CUE ist ein Raum für spontanen Ausdruck und interdisziplinäre Improvisation; ein Raum für Schöpfung und Ausstellung. Es kann jeder mitmachen, niemand wird ausgeschlossen.
CUE ist aus einem bestimmten Bedürfnis heraus entstanden: dem Bedürfnis nach einem Raum, in dem es möglich ist mit neuen Ausdrucksformen in performativem Rahmen zu experimentieren. Die möglichen Handlungen müssen nicht unbedingt künstlerischer Art sein, denn jede mögliche Ausdrucksform ist herzlich willkommen. So haben Teilnehmer aller möglicher Disziplinen (Tanz, Musik, Theater, Videokunst, Raumgestaltung, Kochkunst etc…) die Gelegenheit sich in einem vielfältigen, parallelen Schaffungsprozess zu begegnen. Es ist ein Raum wo verschiedenste, spontan ausgeübte Disziplinen miteinander in Dialog treten. Diese spezielle, zeitgleiche Teilnahme fordert von jedem, der mitmacht, mit dem Raum und den anderen Teilnehmern zu interagieren um die Ergebnisse zu dem unvorhersehbaren Kunstwerk CUE verschmelzen zu lassen. CUE ist alles, was während des gesamten Events in dem Raum passiert. Die Kunst zeigt sich in dieser freien Entwicklung oder eher: die Kunst ist selber genau diese Entwicklung. So werden der kreative Prozess und seine Produkte unverwechselbar. CUE muss für jede künstlerische und nichtkünstlerische Disziplin, vorhersehbar oder unvorhersehbar, offen bleiben. Die Teilnehmer müssen alles mitbringen, was sie fürs Mitmachen bei CUE brauchen, während die Organisatoren jeden Monat einen anderen Spielplatz stellen, ausgestattet mit allen nötigen technischen Hilfsmitteln, die den Teilnehmern zur Verfügung stehen (400 m2 , Verstärker, Videoprojektoren, Videokameras, Tonkanäle, DVD Player und alle möglichen anderen Überraschungen).
Das Ziel von CUE ist weder ein Ergebnis bereitzustellen, noch ein spezielles Produkt zu kreieren. Vielmehr geht es darum Bedingungen zu schaffen, in denen die Teilnehmer die Zeit als gemeinsames Spiel erleben und genießen können. Es wird nichts anderes als eine neue, spontane und total unbeständige Kommunikation angestrebt. Da es wirklich keine vorher formulierten Regeln für dieses Spiel gibt, ist die Interaktion der wichtigste Schlüssel in diesem Kommunikationsprozess, die Teilnehmer müssen für neue Beziehungen zueinander offen sein. Prinzipien wie Eigenständigkeit und Toleranz können bei der Beantwortung der folgenden Fragen behilflich sein: Wie können Leute in einem Umfeld ohne Regeln oder Regisseur miteinander auskommen, wenn die Individuen dabei nur von ihren eigenen Unterhaltungsprinzipien geleitet werden? Wie kann man dafür sorgen, dass sich die Aktivitäten der einzelnen Teilnehmer nicht ausschließen? Was passiert wenn zwei individuelle Vergnügen ineinander eingreifen und kollidieren? Wie sind solche Eingriffe zu verstehen? Was passiert, wenn einer oder mehrere Teilnehmer aus irgendeinem Grund nicht mit den Entscheidungen/Aktionen eines anderen Teilnehmers einverstanden ist/sind?
CUE ist noch immer auf der Suche nach seiner eigenen Bedeutung und scheint selbst zu einer Herausforderung zu werden, zu einer Herausforderung, einem Versuchslabor für eine neue soziale Struktur, basierend auf Werten wie Selbstständigkeit und Toleranz: andere Akzeptieren, aber sich gleichzeitig die Möglichkeit bewahren diese Werten abzulegen.
CUE fand das erste Mal im März 2007 in der Berliner Galerie Weissenseer Freitag statt. Seit Mai 2008 findet CUE parallel in Berlin und Madrid statt. Mittels Videokonferenz kann man sehen was an beiden Standorten stattfindet. Das Projekt zielt darauf ab, nach und nach so viele Städte wie möglich einzubinden und zu verbinden.
(monatliches Treffen)
THERAPEUTIC ENJOYMENT
CUE was born out of a lack: the need for places where to experiment new ways of expressing oneself, within a performative context where the actions have not necessarily to deal exclusively with artistic practises, but where instead all sorts of expression can be more than welcomed.
Why do we behave as we behave? CUE invites its participants/users to set aside all codes of behaviour that use to censor, educate and repress, while trying to take out or produce a much more spontaneous and hazardous behaviour. The aim of CUE is not to communicate a result to a public, nor to create a product, but to make available the necessary tools for the participants to enjoy their time. To enjoy while doing. CUE invites its participants to get disinhibited from whatever restrains the potentiality of our gestures.
SPIELPLATZ, ANARCHIC PARTY
Participation in a collective game where what is sought is an immediate communication, that is new and always unstable.
Enjoyment, disinhibition, loss of one’s fears, creation of an environment that allows people to feel comfortable (without any pressure of judgement). Autonomy.
To liberate expression from its being in a merchandise condition, that is about show business and consumption.
A problem: people who arrive with the expectation of “attending a show”.
THE PROBLEM OF INTERFERENCES
The society of CUE: related to the last chapter (named “to compose”) of J .Attali’s book “Noises”.
CUE is an open project, in constant search of its own meaning. Being aware of its utopian aspiration and the conditions where it actually takes place, it’s still to be understood if this project could somehow be considered as a proposal for another possible social organisation, where to shape new relationships with oneself and the others. In which kind of society would we like to live? How to make community through the principle of cultural autonomy?
To conceive CUE as the project of an ideal society based on the values of autonomy and tolerance: acceptance of the others and ability of set them aside (that are the only rules or principles of CUE). To make community: new relationships with oneself and the others.
Enjoyment, disinhibition, loss of one’s fears, creation of an environment that allows people to feel comfortable (without any pressure of judgement). Autonomy.
CULTURAL AUTONOMY. Subversion, To create differences.
PROBLEM: How can cohabitation be possible in a society where there are no given rules nor a director, and the individuals guide themselves only through the principle of individual enjoyment? How to integrate what takes place in CUE? When two individual enjoyments shock between each other and interfere? To say it with Attali: the answer is autonomy and tolerance. For CUE the questions are: How to make participants’ actions not to crash into each other? How to stir up the communication when there are no rules for it?
¿ How to understand the interferences? Different actions take place at the same time. What happens if one or more participants do not agree with the decisions/actions taken by other participants?
There are two kinds of interferences: positive and negative (in both cases it’s CUE)
the positive ones are the result of a simultaneity of actions, that is the result of an intentional or unintentional communication, or just the fact that at the same time different actions take place without provoking any sort of problem on both sides: harmony of differences.
the negative ones: when at least one participant gets to feel uncomfortable with the actions made by someone else.
SOLUTION: communication, to find an agreement with the other participant. How? It depends on the autonomy of every participant, that is everyone is responsible of stimulating this sort of communication.
How to understand tolerance?
Practical examples: generally it happens to involve music, complaints because its volume is too high, or maybe just unpleasant.
